Death Transfer
Death Transfer
The preparation for death is simply the honest assessment of where one is likely to be hereafter. In fact, part of this is the consideration that one may cease to exist as the psychological being one knows oneself to be currently.
But why even bring this into consideration.
On the first day of the year 2024, I spoke to a deceased friend mentally. Our discussion had to do with desire, which we agreed is the driving force behind what happens in this existence. And by desire, we do not mean whatever is wanted mentally or emotionally and which takes a rational format, but that which is wanted and which is driven by urges which assert themselves despite one’s assertion of, or resistance to them.
In any direction one turns the face, one is confronted by desire or by a lack of that with a corresponding delay or gap, which only last for as long as providence would allow that. Then again one is engaged with desire.
Those who say that they are desireless are either being dishonest, or just do not understand what this existence is made of. There is a misunderstanding whereby someone who ceases to desire, feels that he/she may control the emergence, display, and formulation of desire.
This physical existence as well as the astral counterpart to it, comprises desire, just as a yarn comprises of threads which are woven as it.
Seeing desire in every direction I turn, knowing that this body winds down to its termination, I look to the astral existence and befriend many people who exist there. There is no point in expanding physical association with physical people. In a short time, the perception of those folks in so far as they are physical, will cease. Opposing that is the subtle people whose forms will be more pronounced after the death of my physical utility.
Recently within the past three years, I practiced switching to the subtle side. For instance, instead of teaching kundalini yoga and Patanjali meditation to physical people, I have shifted to teach subtle people even though some of these still have subtle bodies.
Do those subtle people with physical bodies, recall what they are taught in the dream state?
This question presupposes that I care about this. The fact is that I do not. People are taught on the physical side upon request. Many of these persons do not continue the practice. Hence the astral side has some failure as well.
More and more, as the physical system ages, a yogi should shift to the subtle level, the psychic existence. This should be such that the switch over which will be enforced by Nature at its convenience, would happen without surprises. Already a person switches every night or every time there is the major session of sleep within twenty-four hours. Why not develop more awareness of this and use it to get some footing for the final transfer?
There is a need for community. That should be switched to the psychic side. There is a need for a celestial environment. Why not seek that from the psychic level? Gradually practice to abandon the physical reference for everything that has to do with spirituality.
